Completed projects

Sources and gradients of nutrients in the Jeddah Metropolitan Area, Red Sea

Inputs and dispersion of nutrients from the Jeddah Metropolitan Area were studied within the framework of a bilateral project between Germany and Saudi Arabia (Development of a Coastal Monitoring System for the Sustainable Environmental Planning of Jeddah Coastline, Saudi Arabia).

In the framework of the joint project 'Development of improved strategies for sustainable environmental management in Brazilian harbours' loads and dispersion of dissolved nitrogen and phosphorus compounds in the bay of Paranaguá were investigated. A focus was on anthropogenic inputs deriving from the large scale harbour of Paranaguá.
